Members jetech Posted May 19, 2007 Members Report Posted May 19, 2007 Hi I am new to the forum and leather working. I want to learn to make my own cowboy gear for mounted and cowboy action shooting. I started a pair of cuffs using the Old West Collection pattern by Will Ghormley. I am looking for ideas on how to add some type of simple design to them. Right now they are plain with a stitch groove around the edge. They will lace together at the back and buckle at the front. Thanks for any help. Quote
